Birdie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm wrapped in the arms of a broken man
And he asks "are you ready?
Cause I'll take you as far as I can
If you would just let me"
Don't you think that I should hold you
Don't you think that's what I should do
So I'm wrapped in the arms of a broken man
But he'll never have me
I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
And if I think you crush me
You say "Don't worry, baby
My pretty"
In this day
And I can't get away
Cause I'm just a bird in a cage with a rage
And he can't step away
Cause I am the girl that he can't save
I'll never know how the moon stays so still
I'll never know how the moon stays so still
I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
And if I think you crush me
You say "Don't worry, baby
My pretty"
Hold me, soothe me, I'm just your doll now scold me
Break me, bruise me, wear me out and soothe me
Love me, love me, love me
I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
And if I think you crush me
You say "Don't worry, baby, don't worry babe"
I've been thrown to wonderworlds
See if I flit and flow just watch me swirl
Around you and you say "Don't worry, baby
My pretty"
